Today we got up at the usual time of 7am. It was our turn to cook breakfast and it was bacon butties as a result of humiliating Russ in a race last night. After breakfast, we suddenly realized that it was Harry’s birthday. We then went to have a shower in a nearby building which had a large TV, showers and toilets.
After we had our showers we found out that Top Gear was on TV but we had to do the washing up. After the washing up we washed the boat’s deck which was fun! Soon after we lowered the lifeboat and went for a drive in it. Tom was incredibly amazing but Alex crashed into many boats because he wasn’t wearing his glasses.
After we had returned the boat we had our lunch. Our team, the TMHC’s had prepared pancakes with a side dish of crisps. We were in a dock and the lock gate didn’t open till 4.10pm so we went for a walk to the beach and the village of Fleetwood.
When we arrived back to Tenacity of Bolton, we got our waterproofs on ready to sail, then the news came….We were told that the wind was gusting to an astonishing 46 knots outside the gates so we could not sail for the whole day!
The other team; The Banter Wagon, prepared tea which was delicious Pork, rice and broccoli. The Banter Wagon cleaned up. That was another exciting day over.
